| Description:
| Aims: To introduce students to the theoretical basis of analytical chemistry and recent developments in analytical techniques. Learning Outcomes: After successfully completing this unit, students should be able to: 1. Understand the theoretical basis of analytical techniques including the different types of chromatography. 2. Be aware of current developments in the field of analytical chemistry. 3. Critically apply this knowledge to the solution of problems relating to qualitative and quantitative analysis. Skills: Numeracy (F), Problem solving (F, T, A), Independent working (F). Content: * An introduction to separation science. * Introduction to sample preparation techniques (including solid phase extraction, solid phase micro-extraction, accelerated solvent extraction and derivatisation). * Principles of solid phase extraction. * Application of solid-phase extraction in environmental, forensic and pharmaceutical science. * Theory of chromatography (including plate and rate theory, band broadening, peak asymmetry and separation efficiency). * Principles of gas and liquid chromatography (factors affecting separation of analytes, types of stationary and mobile phases and detectors). * Advances in chromatographic techniques: fast chromatography, multidimensional chromatography and chiral chromatography. * Applications of chromatographic techniques in environmental, forensic and pharmaceutical science. |
